You already wrote handle_config_file_preinst in common functions.  As I
understood it, the preinst would need

for file in "list of moved files, new location" do;
  handle_config_file_preinst $file
done

I was thinking of substituting "list of moved files, new location" by
the actual list at the time the preinst is created.
